Python GDAL: pip install --no-install GDAL fails

Question

I am trying to install GDAL in virtual environment based on the various solutions out there.

However the download itself already fails:

$ pip install         


        

Answer 1

A workaround to that problem is to

1. Download GDAL Complete from this site
2. Install GDAL Complete.pkg
3. Go to /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/1.10/ and copy all files in there
4. Go to your virtual environment's sites-packages /venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages and paste the copied files in there

Answer 2

after install gdal using these steps on host:

sudo apt-get install gdal-bin
sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev

After that use

pip install GDAL==$(gdal-config --version) --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-I/usr/include/gdal"

This should work like charm

Answer 3

The workaround given by @user1738154 didn't work as expected for me so went ahead and installed GDAL using HomeBrew then using pip into my Virtual environment.

    $ brew install gdal
    (venv)$ pip install GDAL

Everything compiled and ran like a charm.
